EDIT: Just gonna add something for this Thread

Underrated



Swift Swim Kabutops

- They are commonly used in rain teams but in the PBB meta, Mega Swampert or Ludicolo is more used here and after many times running with it, people seem to underestimate it.

- It can be used as a mid or late-game sweeper as its base 80 speed is doubled in the rain due to Swift swim.

- 100 Base Defence and 70 base defense. . . so it isn't too frail but it have to be on a switch-in after one of your pokemon faint or a slow U-turn which Drizzle Pelipper sometimes carries.

- Its 115 attack stat may seem not that impressive but its main STAB Waterfall could deal massive damage to those who do not resist it under the rain. They may run Aqua jet over Knock off to beat priority users. It also gets access to sword dance but it doesn't get that much oppurtunities to setup.

- Stone Edge(N/A)/Rock Slide as a secondary STAB for kabutops to deal with flying, bug and ice types.

- It relies in the rain so having the rain out, it would not last that long even with priority aqua jet.

- Walled by the likes of Tangrowth, and Mega Venusaur and gets hard countered by Gastrodon. Gyarados can threaten it with intimidate and earthquake but it doesn't like to get injured by rock slide when switching in when not mega evolved yet.

Moveset and Ev spread:

252 Atk/252 Speed/4 Def

- Stone Edge(N/A) / Rock Slide

- Knock Off / Aqua Jet

- Waterfall

- Sword Dance / Aqua Jet Thanks! Gonna make my own rain team and try this out!
